Thank you for your response. The list of the dependencies you provided helped us to get the curl i686 rpm installed on our RHEL 6.9 machine. We have another machine at RHEL 6.6 on which we are not having so much luck. We will upgrade it to RHEL 6.9 to complete the effort.
FWIW I'm considering the inability to modify the absolute search path in the GNU ld on RHEL as a bug and will report it as such. Thanks again!

You only need to install i686 packages plus libgcc.i686 that seem not to be picked up automatically (otherwise ld would complain "cannot find -lgcc_s"). After that I can build a 32-bit application that uses OpenSSL library: $ cat test.c #include <stdio.h> #include <openssl/crypto.h> int main(void) { printf("%s\n", SSLeay_version(SSLEAY_VERSION)); return 0; } $ gcc -m32 test.c -lcrypto $ file a.out a.out: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.18, not stripped $ ldd a.out linux-gate.so.1 => (0x00ede000) libcrypto.so.10 => /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.10 (0x00396000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00cc5000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00fc1000) libz.so.1 => /lib/libz.so.1 (0x006fd000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x00711000) $ ./a.out OpenSSL 1.0.1e-fips 11 Feb 2013 For you reference, this is a complete list of i686 packages I installed into my RHEL 6.10 x86_64 system: # rpm -qa |grep i686 libselinux-2.0.94-7.el6.i686 krb5-libs-1.10.3-65.el6.i686 keyutils-libs-1.4-5.el6.i686 nss-softokn-freebl-3.14.3-23.3.el6_8.i686 openssl-devel-1.0.1e-57.el6.i686 openssl-1.0.1e-57.el6.i686 libcom_err-1.41.12-23.el6.i686 libgcc-4.4.7-18.el6_9.2.i686 glibc-2.12-1.209.el6_9.2.i686 glibc-devel-2.12-1.209.el6_9.2.i686 zlib-1.2.3-29.el6.i686 -- Petr This email and the information contained herein is proprietary and confidential and subject to the Amdocs Email Terms of Service, which you may review at https://www.amdocs.com/about/email-terms-of-service <https://www.amdocs.com/about/email-terms-of-service> ------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe: https://cool.haxx.se/list/listinfo/curl-library Etiquette: https://curl.haxx.se/mail/etiquette.html
